6 inch lift questions

I just bought a Superlift 6 inch suspension lift for my truck. The kit comes with front leaf srings, pitman arm, rear blocks, new shocks, and all the hardware needed for it. The only thing I need to get that I know of are the brake line extensions.

I was thinking about doing it myself but Im concerned about the modification that needs to be done to the front driveshaft. It says I need to grind the CV cluster or "excessive screwage may occure". Would I be better off putting the lift on myself and taking the driveshaft somewhere to have that done. The only suspension work I have ever done was replacing my shocks, so this is all new to me.

Should I do it myself and learn or take it to someone and make sure it gets done right?

What is the cv cluster and what exactly needs to be done to it?

Do I need any special tools to do it?

Thanks
